In sooth, can not say.
Love came TO me so stealthilV,
never saw his way.
His gentle footsteps scarcely pressed
TIE pathway to nv heart;
only saw him standing there,
And knew he ne'er depart.
How can tell what brought him, when
know not how he Gamer
only knew, and bowed before
The magic OF his name.
So many are more beautifuls
All, well, perchance tits true.
So many are much better, dearf

If this is Kindness and hospitality the
words must have very different mean
ing across the line from those accepted
here. The United States is asking, in all
this matter, as we understand the case,
simply for the justice and courtesy it has
extended and Is extending to Canadian
ships and citizens. That at present mat
tiers are on pretty one-sided basis is evil
dent from despatch read in the Senate
on Friday from PASSPORT Me, stating that
the winter school Of herring had struck
into the American shore, and that about
twenty-ti five English vessels were there
fishing within the shore line, while the
English cruiser Middleton was cruising
between PASSPORT and St. Andrews, ready
to seize any American fishermen that
might venture within the shore line.

The New Treaty With China

1t seems that new treaty is being ne
gotiated by our government with that OF
China. The diplomatic relations exist
ing between the United States and China
are by no means entirely satisfactory bur
it is question whether they WIN he much
improved by the new treaty, rs outlined
in the Washington dispatches. TN
der one of its clauses the la
borers OF each nation are denied
admission to the territory of the other
This provision seems little less than
farcical for the idea Of American labor
ers going to China to compete with the
natives of that country at wages averaging
from ten to twenty-five cents a day ~
ridiculous. 1t can be hardly anything
more than thin disguise to secure recog
milton OF the present law prohibiting the
immigration of Chinese laborers to this
country 1t seems hardly possible that
the Chinese government will allow the
wool to be pulled over its eyes by
any such flimsy subterfuge. II
might also work badly MS affecting the
American mechanics who are in China, in
connection with foreign manufacturing
and industrial establishments.
Might not a provision to exclude be
taken by the Chinese for warrant to eX-
pei such laborers To certain extent.
doubtless, China and this country have d
common object. The Chinese government
would rather keep its subjects at home
than ha' them come to America. The
United States would also prefer that the
| Chinese should stay at home. Buta treaty
under which each country proscribes and
excludes the citizens OF the other, would
somehow seem to be poor basis for friend
ship between the two countries

The Senate committee on postofIices and
post roads has agreed on postal tele-
graph bill as a substitute for that intro
duced by Senator Edmunds some time
ago. 1t provides for the establishment by
the postmaster general of postal tele-
graph system by contracting for the per
Torrance of the service with existing tele-
graph companies. The government is to
furnish the officers and make provisions
for selling stamps to cover the charges, at
twenty cents for twenty words, where the
distance is 1000 miles, and five cents for
every additional $50 miles provided that
no charge for twenty words or less shall
be more than fifty cents. Night rates are
fixed at fifteen cents for 1000 miles or under
All words, except the date, are to be
counted. The postmaster-genera is re
CURED to retain three cents from the
charges upon each message and pay over
the remainder to the company as full com
penSatiOn for its services. The company
may maintain its own offices outside the
postoffices for the transmission of tele-
grams upon its own rates. The postmas-
ter-general is required to advertise
for sealed proposals for the perform
tbCt vi lllc StINlCe, ana 10 contract with
hte company whose proposal is deemed
most favorable, the contract to extend
over four years, with privilege of extern
sion for another four years. The post
master general is directed to advertise for
sealed proposals to sell existing lines and
franchises To the government, and if any
of the proposals received are deemed fair
and reasonable, he is required to report
the same to Congress
This bill is said to be more acceptable to
the telegraph companies than the Ed
munds bill and if the latter cannot be
passed this would be valuable, AS step
toward the full government ownership
and control of the telegraph business,
which is sure to come in time. There is
no reason why the mail service of the
country should be in government hands,
that does.not apply with equal force to
the telegraph service. And only so can
the public have cheap telegraphing as well
as cheap postage.

A trade journal, the american Grocer,
contends that the existing reciprocity
treaty with the Hawaiian Islands, is "a
humbug, established for the benefit of
the Claus Speckles sugar monopoly" and
urges strongly that it should not be re-
newed The value Of the sugar imported
into this country annually, the grocer
says, is about $40, 100000. The sugar i'm
ported from the Sandwich Islands free of
duty is valued at between SS000,00O and
S9,000,00O. One ninth, then, of our import
ed sugar pays no duty.
Under this one-sided arrangement, sugar
importations from Hawaii have increased
from 100000 pounds in 1876 to over 2lS,
900 pounds in 1856. The duties remit
ted on Hawaiian sugar since the treaty has
been in force amount to $50, O0O,0 600, while
our total exports to the Sandwich islands
for the same period have been only S2S,
S79,02l.
OF course it is a question how long it is
wise to continue this arrangement which
does not lower the price of sugar to the
public, but puts the amount of the duties
which would be levied ON this Sandwich
Island sugar, into the pockets of the sugar
ring.

The National Divorce Reform League

The National Divorce Reform League,
of which Bishop Paddock is president and
Rev. 5. w. Dixie of Royalton secretary,
has just issued its annual report. A re-
view of the work of the year shows, we
are glad to say, decided progress. The
interchangeable efforts of Secretary Dixie are
beginning to bear fruit. What Anthony
Comstock is to the Society for the Pre-
vention of Vice and Mr.. Bergh to the So
cety Tor the Prevention of cruelty to Ami
mails, Mr.. Dixie is to the National Divorce
Reform League.
Briefly noted, the encouraging features
of the years work of the league are as
follows: Five national religious bodies
have within the year memorialized Con
gress and the president on the subject of
divorce reform in the Territories. The APP
preparation for collecting statistics on the
subject of marriage and divorce, which
passed the Senate last session, bids fair to
become "A law before the close of the pres
ent session. Quite u number OF States
have improved their divorce laws, or
taken other important legislative action
in the matter during the year. The re-
port mentions Maine, Vermont, New
Hampshire, Massachusetts, New York
and New Jersey as States that have legis-
lated against easy. divorce, while in Con
necticut, Rhode Island Pennsylvania and
Ohio the governors have urged reform.
As an instance of what may be accom-
plished by judicious legislation, the mum
Der of divorces in this State was reduced
from 200 in 1884 to ninety-five in 1885 This

every application for divorce to 20 over for
a term of court, and directing the State s
attorneys to appear in the cases on the
side of the people as opposed 10 loose di-
yorce. What is now most needed is wise

ward this Mr.. Dixie and other influential
advocates of the reform are turning their
